This is behind the counter at a local Japanese fish cake shop So this morning, I'm just outside of Tokyo in Odawara And I'm taking you behind the counter at this local Japanese fish cake shop and just behind me I've always been wondering how it's made And so today I'm gonna be showing you how all we have to do is wait for the owners to arrive Today, I'm taking you way behind the counter and all the way into the factory of Ise Kane A family-owned business that's been crafting their traditional Japanese fish cakes of all sorts Including Kamaboko and Chikuwa since 1830 Now run by the family's 6th generation owner The company blends a fresh youthful spirit with the time-honored tradition of Odawara Kamaboko craftsmanship Good morning!

今朝は東京の郊外、小田原にある地元のかまぼこ屋さんのカウンターの裏側にお連れします、1830年からかまぼこやちくわなど、日本の伝統的なかまぼこを作り続けている家族経営の店！

転換語

That's the 6th generation owner, Sugiyama-san He's been working here for 15 years now, ever since graduating university And 5 years ago, he officially took over the family business His father though still steps in when he can But the family's legacy now rests in his hands As he honors their past while also responsible for shaping their business's future Nice!

大学を卒業してから15年間この店で働き続け、5年前に正式に家業を継いだ。父親ができるときに手伝う程度だが、一族の遺産は今、彼の手にゆだねられている！

A worker is already here Are you always the first one to come in?

すでに従業員が来ている いつも最初に来るのか？

Their daily production tasks typically depend on their inventory along with the day's orders I guess today's first task is to package their Satsuma-age, fried fish cake Hi!

今日の最初の仕事は、さつま揚げの包装かな！

いつからここで働いているのですか？

ここで働き始めたきっかけは？

その前は何をしていたんですか？

ああ、フェイスケーキからフィッシュケーキへ！

では、あなたのお気に入りのアイテムは？

He says that it's full of protein without having any unwanted ingredients like oil and carbs So do you lift weights?

油や炭水化物のような不要な成分を含まず、タンパク質が豊富だという。

大会のためのトレーニングもしていますか？

これらはすべてあなたのお店のものですか？

Their fish cakes are sold in supermarkets and specialty shops all throughout Japan And are crafted with meticulously selected ingredients With an unwavering focus on freshness and safety They even use pure mineral-rich natural spring water Which results in an authentic and delicious taste Hey, I saw that you play rugby!

日本全国のスーパーや専門店で販売されているかまぼこは、鮮度と安全性にこだわり、厳選された素材を使っている！

I don't play rugby right now I just do it as a hobby We did it together yesterday You two must have fun together!

今はラグビーはやっていない。趣味でやっているだけだ。 昨日も一緒にやったし、2人で楽しんでいるんだろうね

So what's most important for you guys when you're training?

では、あなたたちにとってトレーニングで最も重要なことは何ですか？

Oh, the factory manager's back and he's crafting their Chikuwa fish cakes In Japan, Chikuwa is typically made from a paste called surimi A blend of white fish, salt, sugar, starch, mirin, kelp powder and egg whites It's an everyday Japanese food that was once considered a luxury It used to be called Kamaboko, like this one But back in the day, samurai said common folks shouldn't eat it Because it looked like their weapon So to get around that, ordinary people started calling it Chikuwa Which means bamboo ring So that they could keep enjoying it without getting in trouble Excuse me, how long have you worked here?

日本のちくわは一般的にすり身から作られる。白身魚、塩、砂糖、でんぷん、みりん、昆布粉、卵白をブレンドしたものだ、でも昔は、武士が武器に見えるから庶民は食べちゃいけないって言ったんだ。だから庶民はそれを回避するために、竹輪のことをちくわと呼ぶようになった。

へえ、どうしてここで働くことになったんですか？

面白いですね、ご家族はいらっしゃるんですか？

Don't you miss them working the night shift?

But what do you do for fun when you're not here?

でも、ここにいないときは何を楽しんでいるの？

Oh, that's Sugiyama-san's wife, Mizuki Who also works here, and that's a family!

ああ、あれは杉山さんの奥さんの瑞希さん！

Sugiyama-san's dad is here too So, do you actually live here?

杉山さんのお父さんも来ている。

それで、最近はどうしているんだい？

Today, I thought I'd wake up at 5.30am So I overslept a little And I woke up at 5.45am There's a pond here And the water from the factory comes out It's a water source for living things If a koi dies, the water won't come out It's for their safety So how long have you two been married?

今日、朝5時半に起きようと思って、ちょっと寝坊して5時45分に起きたんだ。ここに池があって、工場から水が出るんだ。鯉が死んだら水が出なくなるんだよ。

She says that she started out during the busy New Year's period And slowly was introduced to the world of fish cakes Oh, and how do you like working here?

お正月の繁忙期から始めて、徐々にかまぼこの世界に入っていったという。

She says that even her husband's parents have been super supportive He believes the future of their success Lies in the hands of the younger generation And he embraces their fresh ideas With a sense of hope and pride Just as his ancestors and he himself Once poured their hearts into the business He trusts that the younger generation will do the same Carrying the legacy forward In ways that are both new and deeply meaningful So, what's important when making fish cakes?

ご主人のご両親も、とても協力的なのだそうだ。ご主人は、自分たちの成功の未来は若い世代の手に委ねられていると信じており、希望と誇りをもって若い世代の斬新なアイデアを受け入れている。

The most important thing is this process This machine has been used for about 100 years It takes time But I want to preserve the texture and umami These days, many manufacturers in Japan Automate and mass-produce their fish cakes By using bladed mixers to speed up the process While also adding preservatives to extend the shelf life But here, they stay true to tradition Using a stone mill, just like their ancestors did before them A piece of their history that the family are keen to hold on to So the product he's crafting now Is their latest product developed by him and his wife Called Chikusu Pakku A high-protein, low-fat chikuwa Designed for the health-conscious consumer Staying true to their original recipe They were able to preserve the same familiar taste That their customers have come to love But with the added health benefits It's quickly become their top-selling product By the way, how old is this recipe?

一番大切なのは、この工程です この機械は100年ほど前から使われています 時間はかかりますが、食感やうまみを大切にしたいのです 最近では、日本の多くのかまぼこメーカーが自動化・大量生産を行っている、高タンパク・低脂肪のちくわで、健康志向の消費者のために開発された。 オリジナルのレシピに忠実であることで、顧客に愛されるおなじみの味を維持することができた。

Of course, the amount of salt and umami Depends on each generation's taste So we've changed it But the base is the same That's amazing!

もちろん、塩分やうま味の量はそれぞれの世代によって違うから、変えているんだけど、ベースは同じ！

Now that the housework's done It's time for her to start her job at the shop Before the store opens in 30 minutes Her first task is to restock the sales floor And prepare the shop So it's ready to welcome customers Nice, this is a Chiku-Spaku that they developed Wait, is that you in the picture?

30分後の開店を前に、彼女の最初の仕事は売り場の補充と、お客様をお迎えする準備をすることだ。

She says that one bag has 21 grams of protein With no fat, low carbs and no preservatives So did you stop training?

彼女曰く、1袋で21グラムのタンパク質、無脂肪、低炭水化物、保存料不使用。

After readying the shop, she works on office tasks So, what do you do here?

店の準備の後、彼女は事務仕事をする。

Oh, that's rough Apparently, she's been managing the accounting For the past 7 years But when she first started She didn't even know how to really use a computer But she taught herself along the way Today, she not only keeps pace with the demands of their business But she embraces the challenge Her quiet determination and positive spirit Is truly a driving force in their family business So how's it working here?

それは大変だ。どうやら彼女は過去7年間、経理を管理しているようだが、始めた当初はコンピューターの使い方さえ知らなかった。

It's my first time training while eating Chikuwa You look like you're having the most fun Yeah?

ちくわを食べながらトレーニングするのは初めて。 一番楽しそうだね。

I'm having fun She says he used to be more of a quiet type But now at work, with his friend joining He's having more fun on the job Hey, it's good to have a positive vibe around At 9am, the shop is officially open for business And right away, customers start coming in She serves freshly grilled Chikuwa While also sharing their company's history As it's her job to attend to all the customers Hi, can I ask you what brought you here?

以前はおとなしいタイプだったそうだが、今は友人も加わって、仕事が楽しくなったそうだ。

Oh, that's cool And how did you find this place?

それはいいね、それでどうやってここを見つけたんだい？

Nice, enjoy your walk Odawara Kamaboko has a long history Dating back to the Muromachi era Blessed with fresh fish from Sagami Bay And pure water from Hakone This area became known as one of Japan's top fishcake towns Thanks to travellers along the old Tokaido road Its popularity spread far and wide At its peak, there were 15 makers here But now sadly, only 10 remain The shop is one of the few still holding on To preserve the tradition While her mother-in-law watches the store She helps out with the packing It appears that the machine Is printing out the expiration date on the products Since it's a family-owned business Everyone helps out wherever they can Now, one of the workers delivers A freshly made Kamaboko to a local store So how far is the delivery?

小田原かまぼこの歴史は古く、室町時代まで遡る。 相模湾の新鮮な魚と箱根の清らかな水に恵まれ、日本有数のかまぼこの町として知られるようになった、姑が店番をしながら、包装を手伝っている。機械で賞味期限を印字しているようだ。

This is Odawara Station And how long have you been with the company?

こちらは小田原駅です。入社されて何年になりますか？

5 or 6 years And what do you exactly do here?

5、6年 ここで具体的に何をするんですか？

We deliver, we do sales And we also ship So what do you like about this job?

The communication with the customers That's what I enjoy That's Odawara Maruto The local souvenir shop he's delivering to While the factory is factoring Mizuki prepares lunch for the family So what's been the most challenging for you When working here?

お客さんとのコミュニケーション、それが楽しいんです 小田原マルト 納品先の土産物屋 工場が集計している間、瑞希は家族のために昼食を用意する。

I feel ya In fact, 77.8% of married women In Japan work today A number that continues to rise every year Mizuki is no exception As she balances home life While being deeply involved In the shop's product development And customer service Wow, it looks delicious Chikuwa wrapped with rice paper Yay, finally lunch time Hey, are you tired?  Are you on a diet now?

実は現在、日本では既婚女性の77.8％が働いている。  ダイエット中？

Wait, you told me earlier That you're gonna drink a Coke It's not that healthy though I guess his friend is eating with the family too It's pretty convenient to have a kitchen And dining space right next to the factory Did you make a lot today?

待って、さっきコーラを飲むって言ったじゃないですか。そんなにヘルシーじゃないですけどね。彼の友達も家族で食事をしているようです。工場のすぐ隣にキッチンとダイニングスペースがあるのはかなり便利ですね。今日はたくさん作ったんですか？

Good for you So do you want your son to take over when he grows up?

よかったですね。では、息子さんが大きくなったら後を継がせたいですか？

He says that he knows firsthand How hard it is So as a parent, he doesn't want him to go through The same struggles he went through But instead, he wants his son to pursue his own dream Is it going to be okay though?

だから親としては、自分が経験したような苦労を息子にはさせたくない。

It's going to be okay For now, I just want to be bright And protect the sign And if my son says he wants to take over As a parent, I'd be happy Well, whatever the future holds The fact that the family has been crafting Their fish cakes for nearly a century Across six generations Is remarkable in itself And as Sugiyama-san and his wife Work to preserve family traditions While also evolving and adapting their craft To meet the taste of an ever-changing world All I can do is wish them the very best And help share their story So if you want to visit this place for yourself I'll be sure to leave a link in the description So that was behind the counter At a local Japanese fish cake shop If you guys like this video Like always, help me out and hit that like button If you guys want to help support the channel Then definitely check out my hot sauce As many of you know, we've been sold out for a while now But as of today, we're finally in stock again With a small batch of our original premium hot sauce Each bottle taking six years to age Get it while it's hot At paolofromtokyohotsauce.com Or if you're in Japan Then check out our Shibuya vending machine If you guys want to see more videos like this Or anything related to Japan Hit that subscribe button and the bell button I'll catch you guys in the next one
